DesignCon 2017 Schedule Builder

View, browse and sort the list of sessions by Pass Type, Track, Day/Time, or by Speaker. Sessions are subject to change. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat.

Build Your Conference Agenda. By signing up for the Scheduler, you can add sessions to your "Favorites" and develop your own personalized schedule. This personalized schedule will be synced with the official DesignCon Mobile App.

Please note: Registration accounts are separate from Session Scheduler. Even if you've registered, you will need to create a Scheduler account.

While in the recent past, oscilloscopes have been primarily focused on "horizontal" aspects (bandwidth and sample rate), this paper addresses "vertical" aspects of oscilloscope design. I will explore the concept of resolution in the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) employed in oscilloscopes and the ADC topologies currently in use, and methods of increasing resolution.Since the concept of resolution is inseparably linked with the concept of effective-number-of-bits (ENOB), this paper will provide tutorial theoretical background for ENOB computation and how noise and resolution affect ENOB.It will examine how noise, correlation of noise, and spectral shaping of noise affect ENOB and how correlation and spectral content can be exploited to reduce noise.Finally, it will explore two popular processing techniques utilized in oscilloscopes - upsampling and enhanced resolution (ERES). Knowledge of this particularly helps oscilloscope users make better measurements.

Takeaway

readers will better understand resolution in oscilloscopes and especially how noise and resolution go hand in hand. It will help oscilloscope users better understand signal fidelity expectations in the use of oscilloscopes. Also, with all of the processing going on in oscilloscopes, both internal and manually configured, it will help oscilloscope users understand what this processing is doing and when and how the processing can be used for the best effect.

Welcome! You can use the Session Scheduler tool to browse sessions and build a custom event schedule. Once you've saved your personal schedule, you can access it from the free DesignCon mobile app (available approximately 30 days before the event). Note: use the same login/password on the Mobile app that you set up on this web site.

Instructions

Step 1. Create an account. Use the "Create Account" button at the top of the right-hand corner.

Step 2. Choose a view. Select either the "List" or the "Grid" icon. (It's the same data, just a different view of the sessions.)

Step 3. Choose your sessions. Click the "Add" or "Remove" button next to each session to add it to, or remove it from, your personalized schedule.
